REMstar Pro CPAP with AutoIQ

The System One REMstar Pro with AutoIQ has all of the features available with the original REMstar Pro flow generator, but with added benefits to ensure the patient receives the proper care and compliance. The AutoIQ features two distinct phases--Auto-Trial and Auto-Check--which use the proven Philips Respironics auto algorithm to track and deliver breath-by-breath therapy for up to 30 days and set an ideal fixed CPAP pressure. It then reassesses treatment needs periodically and changes therapy pressures automatically--without the need for you to send someone to the patient's home.

For periods of three days or more, adding up to a total of 30 days, AutoIQ will provide breath-by-breath therapy while in the Auto-Trial phase, using Respironics' existing, proven auto algorithm. By learning your patient's breathing patterns and treatment needs during the trial phase, Auto-Trial identifies an ideal therapy pressure specifically for that patient. The device will automatically deliver the pressure that the patient was at or below 90% of the time, or at a fixed pressure that has been set by the clinician. Clinicians can opt to use the 30 Auto-Trial days up front or choose to use fewer trials days and save the balance for a later date if the patient's condition changes.

Auto-Check Phase

Once the ideal pressure is established, the Auto-Check phase evaluates the patient's events every 30 hours to determine if a pressure change is needed. If no adjustment is needed, the pressure remains the same. However, if after 30 hours the device determines that the pressure should be adjusted, it will automatically raise or lower the pressure 1 cm at a time, with an upper and lower limit of 3 cm H2O.
